Evolved? Into what they already where. All that happened is that Trump let them crawl out from their racist bigoted rocks. They did not ‘evolve’. They did not change or grow. They are either racist or bigoted, or hope to ride a money train, which will go right off a cliff. ---

So did you at least vote for someone? Anyone? Because if you didn’t you are beneath contempt. ---

Well duh, it means you wanted Trump, although you say you don’t like him. And although you don’t like him, you didn’t say you didn’t vote fore him. Sometimes voting for someone, whom you don’t like is the better option. In 2016 my mother, who didn’t like Hilary, voted for her because she knew Trump was such a scumbag on so many levels. ---

Why couldn’t you vote for Harris? If you’re in a state where the race between her and Trump was tight, then not voting for Trump’s opponent and not voting for Trump really helped Trump. ---

The thread starts out putting the boot into those who voted for Trump. Whatever. Then progressively evolves as a screed against those who didn’t vote for Harris. Which is a problem because that includes the vast majority of the rest of the world. And a small but voluble portion of The Dope. And at that point, as the Bard would say things _“Gang aft agley, An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain”_ And this is from people who I have met personally. Exchanged gifts, even. Don’t mind me, resume speed. ---

Look, if you didn’t vote for Harris you voted for this. There were only two choices. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fuck-trump-and-his-followers/1009749.md?page=10) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fuck-trump-and-his-followers/1009749.md?page=12)
